I'm guessing The Adelaide. Yeah, take it back and park it on the river for a few years, turn it in to an SD14 and everyone will be happy....apart from the local council who want to rid every last trace that shipbuilding ever existed.

Sorry about that mod 4.

i bet rule 12 covers it

Clearly it doesn't.

Save Our Ship == an appeal for funds.

 

[breezer]

clearly it does, since it was deleted

Why not mention an opportunity for skilled tradesmen and DIYer to provide their skills to a valuable preservation of Great Britian's history.

Not fund raising but an opportunity to be philanthropic with one's skills.

Well, you just lost your bet.

Thanks for your contribution though; it was invaluable.

 

[breezer]

if i lost my bet that i never made (it was a figure of speach) why has the post been deleted?

 

[Softus]

I see. So you can "make a bet", as a figure of speech, but you won't accept someone saying that you "lost" it, as a figure of speech.

If you think it was an advert then surely that's all that matters.

 

[breezer]

it must have been an advert, since it was deleted.

if i had actualy bet anyone, i would have said something like

"i bet a virtual pint with (who ever) that i am right"

OR

"i bet a virtual pint with (who ever) that it was xxxxxx"


xxxxx being the subject

but i never said either of these, or similar

 

[Softus]

I can't conceive of a more apposite occasion to respond with the word "whatever".

 

[breezer]

fine by me, i accept your defeat

 

[Softus]

Nice try. Or, to be more precise, pathetic try.
